What are the f-stop numbers?

F-stop numbers are the numbers used to measure aperture (the amount of light entering the camera). Because f-stop numbers are actually fractions, the larger the f-stop number, the less light is entering the camera.


Which shutter speed is not a full stop?

f/1, f/1.4, f/2, f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, f/11, f/16, f/22, f/32 are the usual full stops in aperture. You could have a full stop difference between two half or thirds as well.a full stop is when the light is halved or doubled between the two settings. so in shutter speeds if the time is close to doubled or halved its considered a stop so going from 1/30th to 1/60th would be a stop and the next nominal stop down would be 1/125th of a second.

What do you notice as you change the diaphragm?

As you increase the f-stop number (stopping down) by closing the diaphragm you decrease the light. The conventional f-stop scale on camera lenses results from the halving of the available light. For example, when you stop down from f/11 to f/16, you are decreasing the light by half...that would require halving the shutter speed to get the same exposure.The standard f-stop scale on cameras goes:f/1, f/1.4, f/2, f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, f/11, f/16, f/22, f/32, f/45, f/64, f/90, f/128...
